hi , i noticed p5 cant find or remember where textures are sometimes for some items. which folder that it goes to automatically for the textures or is it just haphazard?

If you linked a P4 or another runtime folder to P5, and the texture pathnames in the cr2/pp2/pz2 file has the absolute pathname in it (i.e., D:Poser 4Runtime...), then P5 has problems finding the textures. If the pathname is replaced with the relative pathname (i.e., :Runtime:...), then P5 doesn't seem to have a problem with it. There are a couple of programs available, some free, some not, that can fix the pathnames for you. I can't remember what they are at the moment, but I'm sure that someone will come along and post links to some of them.

Look in freestuff for CorrectReference (you may have to go to poserpros.com). I reported a bug similiar to what's described above to CL, so maybe the fix will be in the patch(???). The problem I saw was that if you didn't have the texture at the exact location P5 wouldn't find it (for linked runtimes). P4 will find it as long as it's somewhere under the Textures directory.
